Pictures of Norman Gifford


Profile:

For many years the county ground at Worcester saw the quick left-arm spin of Norman Gifford, working his way through his overs from a short, brisk run up, with rarely a long hop or half volley. By no means a classic slow left-armer, he bowled with little loop, and at a pace often close to medium, with unerring command of length and line. If it were not for the presence of Derek Underwood, he would have played many more than 15 Tests. Most of his tests were played abroad, where an extra spinner was needed. He was a good tail-end bat, difficult to remove when he put his mind to it, as shown by his contribution to record partnerships for the 9th wicket against India, and last wicket against Pakistan. He had a shrewd cricketing brain, and captained Worcestershire to a championship in 1974. His bowling style adapted well to one day cricket, where he was economical, and a good wicket-taker (Dave Liverman, 1998).
